I bought this hoping to add to the quaility of my marriage. I could not get my husband to listen to it and I had a hard time listening to it myself. Seemed very adolescent and juvenile like it was written for children.

Eureka I cried as I read the section of this worthy tome that deals with the different number of speech centers that mane and women have. You see I have always wondered why women will come up and interrupt me while I am typing without any apparent display of contrition only to display dismay at my reaction. Alan and Barbara explain it so well and once I understood this I was empowered to talk to the women in my life and explain that when I am writing something all my brains speech centers are engaged and if they interrupt me in mid flow the thing I am composing in my mind goes "POOF" and disappears forever.

Indeed I found so much useful insight in to the impact that the differences between the male and female brains phisiology make that I referenced the work in my own book Stone Soup: The Secret Recipe for Making Something from Nothing as I feel that this book is not merely applicable in personal relationships on the home front I have seen its application in business and frankly the younger the business the more important it is for people to get along really well.

I recommend Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps to everyone if you are a man know for his listening as I am or a woman who has a passion for orienteering this book is hugely valuable.
